A new Irish Museum of Silver is up and running in Waterford, ready to welcome visitors at the end of lockdown. It is housed in the beautiful eighteenth-century Deanery building in Cathedral Square, in the heart of Waterford’s Viking Triangle. Exhibits trace the importance of silver in Ireland from the 9th-20th century. Among many rare items on show is a Viking gold and silver Kite brooch – discovered just a few hundred yards from the museum – which is considered to be the finest piece of 12th century secular metalwork in Ireland.
